Hey guys. I have long used a fiio E17 as a cheap desktop dac/amp for my PC360 headset. Soon I'll be upgrading my headphones to either X2's or Fostex RP MK3's and want to upgrade the dac and amp too. I will only ever be using this on my desktop connected via usb, wont be outputting to speakers. In terms of form factor I am not too fussed if its one unit or two. I have been looking for options at most around £200 at the most and cant find a definitive winner. I figure if I got the X2 I could go for a cheaper option but if I went with the fostex would need a unit with a powerful amp.
Potential winners include: Schiit 2 stack, Emotiva big ego, Aune x1s, Smsl sankrit +amp, (the Odac+o2 isnt there because shipping to the UK makes it not really worth it compared to the others)
